Sony A7III Language Hack Help

saudkh — Tue, 08 May 2018 02:54:04 +0000

I recently purchased a Sony A7III from Japan. and as some of you know, Sony cameras do not have language settings on them, when they are bought from Japan. I am quite competent with the camera (even with it set in a different language) I mainly bought it from here because the price difference was justifiable.

Anyway, I found the amazing guide on this site (https://www.personal-view.com/faqs/sony-hack/languages) to help replace the camera language files. I was able to extract the firmware files (Funny enough Ive tried many versions of the fw-tool and none of them would extract the file, except the GUI one.) the extractor gave me the 4 files, one of which is the FDAT file the contains the actual firmware and as you can imagine the file is encrypted and thats where I am stuck now!

I realize it might be against the rules to ask for this, but any "tips" or direction on how to extract the fdat file would be highly appreciated? the guide says to google but I am afraid my google skills aren't as good as I thought they were. I apologize in advance if this is breaking any rules.

Sony A7 High bitrate hack?

JimmySuarez1981 — Wed, 11 Nov 2020 12:20:20 +0000

In 2020 I'm purchasing a Sony A7 (Mainly for stills) and I'm curious to know if a hack to increase video bitrate (Just like Driftwood hack for the Lumix GH2) exists at all???

Thanks in advance!

Sony a7 iii release date and global shutter

bokehman64 — Sat, 22 Oct 2016 21:55:13 +0000

I really want the a7rii but that crazy global shutter is unacceptable. Does anyone know when the mark 3 might be announced? My best guess is nab but that's all the way in April. Does anyone know if it will have a global shutter to eliminate rolling shutter? or any other information would be great. Thanks.

FS: DSLR cage with top handle, top rails, cold shoe, and HDMI lock

josh_chiara — Mon, 25 Aug 2014 15:54:09 +0000

Awesome cage for a A7s or similar camera. Will work with a 5d or similar without a handgrip also.

Comes with top handle, top rail mount, cold shoe, and HDMI lock.

Cold shoe can be moved anywhere on the cage.

All metal and super solid. I was using it with my A7s and it was great. I have decided to go Kinemini 4k, so I no longer have a need for this cage.

Top rails not included.

Paid a little over $300 for the whole thing about a month ago.

$210 shipped any where in the US. I'll ship worldwide but the actual cost of shipping will need to be paid. P.M. me for a quote.
